Hello
I have recently gotten into growing mini and micro-mini sinningias. So far they seem easy to keep ( had them for 4 weeks) and have been blooming happily. They have about 50% humidity usually. I am giving them the same light that my AVs get ( indirect from a south window), however some sources say to give them more light than AVs while others say less. WHat's the general consensus?
Also, my mini sinn ( unknown variety, but looks like "Leah") seems to have very floppy leaves today. Its soil is moist. Could overwatering do this? It is still blooming , flowers haven't flopped. Should these leaves be as turgid as an AV leaf? Also the pot it came in ( 3 oz solos cup) has about a 3/4 inch layer of perlite ont eh bottom.Is this recommended for all sinningias?
Any advice or tips anyone can give me would be appreciated, I haven't been able to find much info on these plants ( at least not compared to AVs!)
Thanks,
Breton
